Another correspondent call our attention to the sketch in Harper's Monthly for November, 1871. This addi nothing new to the controversy, however, as the sketch it well known to most readers. The Democrats made an tfl'ort to capture some indignation from A. F. Perry on the Louisiana business, but Ferry de-, dined to indignate. lie euid it was extremely doubtful whether he would be able to sympathiu with the Democracy, which was putting it very mildly for Perry. . And now comes the State of Indiana into court, with a Democratic candidate for United States Senator, who is a hard money man. Yet Indiana was the very sanctum Banctornm of the ii.llation Le-vites. The Enquirer must be allowed twenty minutes for a private weep. " What, all my pretty chicks at one fell swoop." Sekatob Looan made a grand speech on Louisiana afKiri. ' We should be glad, to publish the whole speech; but can only present a few select paragraphs, which will appear from time to lime as there is space for them. After Logan finished, Senator Tipton made a trivial and foolish effort to be funny, which was rewarded with occasional Laughter, though what the laughter was about is a question that will trouble most readers who go through the speech. Our grave Senators must have an extraordinary cnpscl y for laughter, if the reporter has not drawn on his imagination for the bracket embellishments of Mr. Tipton's speech. Senator Thurman was born at Lynchburg, Virginia, November, 1813, and is now in his sixtysecond year. Senator Thurman, being an orphan, was "raited" by his Uncle William Allen, who was born last in 1807, and was consequently six years old wheu he began raising his now promising young nephew. Our Governor is remarkable not only for undertaking the guardianship of his orphan nephew when only six years old, but for having been born three years after the death of his .own father. All these portentous events unite in pointing to Governor Allen as reserved for some peculiar work by Providence, and there is little dsubt that this peculiar work is either to be President of the United States by grace of God and Captain Putnam, or to be a home missionary among the savages of Henry county. The 'Washington correspondent of the Sunday Herald writes : General Sheridan telegraphs that the verv air is impregnated with assassination, and asks that the obnoxious people of the whole South be declared banditti ana turned over to him to be dealt with according to drum-liend court-martial, and if found guilty, shot. Lieutenant General Sheridan does not ay anything within a thousand miles or ten million men of that. His exact language is "The arrest and trial of the ring Uadtrt of the armed White Leagues." Will Mr. Howard assert that this language can possibly be made to mean "the obnoxious people of the whole South" ? Again : Sheridan's language is "If Congress would pass a Ml declaring them i.e. "the ring leaden of the armed While Leagues" banditti, they could be tried by a Military Commission." It is a soldier's way, and as President Grant says, in his Message " the army is not composed of lawyers, capable of judging at a moment's notiee of just how far they can go in the main tenance of law and order ; and that it was impossible to give specific instructions providing for all possible contingencies that might arise. The troops were bound to act upon the judgment of commanding officers upon each sudden contingency that arose, or wait instructions, which could only reach them afler the threatened wrongs had been committed which they were called upon to prevent." The truth la, there has been a great deal of popcock wasted on Sheridan's dispatch, by jumping at a meaning which the dispatch Itself does not even remotely indicate. ' , One of the ablest journalists ia Asaer-ica, a featletaaa who is peculiarly sagacious ia all qiwetioa of affairs, aal la altera sffxlinf the material interests of the eonaUy, writes to u ia a private cots, " Then it as joke about Columkui aortas (rratradoaa aJraafaes eos ml SEVEN CENTS A BU&HKL. It it ilfieuU Is ottrtttimaU ike mbc llal lit materialor ike production o esros loiur it Is Aw." This it concurred ia by many others what opinion U of weight, and whose attention hat been drawa to Columlus by the State JotgNAL. There ia lut one disadvantage that Columbus labors under, in comparison with Indianapolis and other enterprising places: that is, that there an some of our business men who have so little knowledge of the value of mak ing Columbus known abroad, or who have so little public spirit, thai if wfvere to place a hundred copies of the State Journal, or of any pamphlet showing the advantages of Columbus, in their bands, free, ready wrapped and prepaid for the posloffice, they would not have sufficient enterprise, to writs the address on the wrappers to as to distribute the informstlon "where it would do the most good." There are manufacturers, even, whose business we have written up for the benifitof the cily, thereby doing great service to their private interests, who have not thought it worth while to thank us for "doing our duly as journalists by caring for home in terests in that way," who have never advertised a line in the paper to show Columbus business in our columns, and who go all the way to some Eastern cily to get their labels and letter hesds printed, be cause they have facilities for procuring the work a, a small advantage in some way. These gentlemen would he much surprised if we were to compare their establishments disadvantageous with those older established in some Eastern city ; they would think "our borne paper" was "going back on us"; yet that is their style of doing business where our interests are involved, and they do not give the matter a thought. It never occurs to them, even remotely, that if it is our duty to woik for the interests of Columbus as journalists, it is slill more their duty to see that their business is represented in our advertising columns, to show capitalists and all producing forces, (who derive their impressions of any city from the columns of its newspapeis,) what styles of business are in vogue, how many different articles of home manufacture are to be found here, what new business might promise well, and what facili ties purchasers may find here for filling up their whole invoice on favorable terms. Eveiy business house in Columbus ought lo be represented in the daily pa-ers, if by only one line, so that purchasers from all the turrounding towns and country may he able lo see that which is no doubt true namely : that the owner of a oounlry store may find in our market every article he needs, It is something, but not enough, that the purchaser should Fee that Hrown & Dunn, or Miller, Green & Joyce, or some other of (ur large wholesale or retail dry goods houseB, have knocked dry goods down below New York prices; the purchaser, whether he seeks supplies for a large family or for a small retail store, wants to know whether he can come to Columbus and get all the articles he needs, at an average figure. It will not pay for him to como here and buy part of his supply, if he has lo make another trip to Cincinnati or some other place for the rest of it ; and if he finds, on looking into the columns of the State Journal, that there are only half adciiiii clasFes of business represented, he is apt to think and is justified In thinking either that Columbus has not a general stock of all the various articles he needs, or else Columbus business men are so lacking in enterprise that it will not be safe to expect good bargains from them. There is one fact of exceedingly Buggcslive character just in this connection a fact that wo have recently seen commented on by the St. Louis papers : Our reoders arc perhaps aware that during the past year uo city in Hie United Slates has made such a tremendous, stride in the jobbing trade as St. L uis. The reason is given, thus: A little over a year ago, there ws a general movement among St. Louis jobbers and wholesale dealers of every sort to give a fair trial !o the experiment whether advertising in the city papers could be made to pay, and whether it could be made in any degree to lake the place of the expensive instrumentality of "drummers," Ono trip of a drummer, on any one route, they found, would about pay for a good advertisement in a city paper for u year and the advertisement would be a drum mer which would go out once a day, the vear round, on every route leading to the city. They did give the scheme a fair trial, and the result was perfectly amasing. While the business of nearly every city in the country bat hid hard work to hold its own, that of St. Louis has increased in a ratio immensely greater than In any other year of its history. The St. Louis papers are now crowded with business, and the St. Louis merchant who is not represented there is hardly worth going to see for "old fogy in unum, old fogy to omnibus" too stingy to advertise, too stingy Is deal liberally with buyers no enterprise in adding to the business reputation of the cily by swelling the volume of showing in its newspapers, proves no enter prise to push ahead and get latest styles. best bargains, and best ptistoni. It would do no barm to uiu.iudub, id. her business interests, to the Interest of the men themselves, or to our Interests, if our business men would Just think over these matters a little. Investigate that statement about St. Louis. Try It on, a little, and fee how it will fit Columbus. mmr.

The theory of the system it a close house-to-house visitation and careful inspection by ciliieni, whose object it to prevent, not encourage, pauperism. What have been the results?

The roster bank is doing but little, while the Powers btnk, Hen. Matthews boss, is doing nothing. The out-nut in the valley is nut more than oneeighlh its capacity, and not more than onefourlh of what it was this time one year ago. The Thorn Hill bank resumed work on Thursday after a short suspension. The Kline bank also resumed at that time. There it no wages dispute except at a few of the banks in this valley, the operators expressing a desire and arillingnera lo furnish all the work that can be obtained for their men, under the present depressed condition of the trade. In the Tuscarawas valley the wages dispute, which at one time assumed Ihe proportions of a strike, has been compromised through the agency of a Board of Arbitration, and the works are now running on very good lime, the price paid being 71 cents per Ion, a reduction of 19 cents. The iron works of this city, with the exception of Iiown, Bounell & Co.'s, aud the rail department of the Valley mill, are in full operation. For the first time in many mouths employes in Homer, Hamilton & Co.'s foundry are having but little to do. The difficulty which has prostrated the iron industries in the I'ilUbnrg region, in regard lo the price of puddling, has not affected this cily, unleFS the stoppage of lirown, Bonnell A Co.'s works is due to this cause. Too much uraise cannot be accorded to the manufacturers of this city, who have kept tho works in operation, affording labor to our wormngnien anu ioou to our poor, in a lime when ruin and starvation stares the Industrious of other cities in the face. The prospects are good for the continuance ot tlio present irienmy relations uf employer and employed during the winter, and it is hoped that the iron interest of the country will present a moie fa-orable outlook with the opening of navigation in the spring.

The Columbus correspondent of the Dsjton Herald feels .qjpve.d tp uika,lh- following announcement, wnicn ne no doubt considers important : There has been a persistent effort on the pert of a few persons to make the people Ulieve that Governor Allen allowed it to be understood that he was a candidate for President of the United Slates, in order to promote the aspirations of his distinguished nephew, Senator Thurman. There ii not one word of truth in it, aa I can state on positive information. Governor Allen will enter into no combinations or alliances, offensive or defensive, for the Presidency. His purity and honcsly, as manifested throughout a long life in the public service and in the nobler vocation as the Scioto farmer, forbid even the sus picion that he would do Bucti a tuing sb that. He is not the man to play Becond fiddle to anybody.

At Norwioh, Conn., yesterday, by order of the Mayor, a national salute was fired in honor of the Preaideal't action on the Louisiana question, Poor dw They Deal With Ihe Ituexlluu In tseriftniiy. One of the most remarkable and suc cessful efforts ever made by.munlcipal au thorities to break up pauperism is that of German manufacturing town near Cologne on the Khine, Elberfeldt. This municipality wt toreiy amicieu aoiue twenty years since with a phronic condition of pauperism. T. e usual maMmj of almt houses or of private charity did not diminish It. If people gave freely and Indiscriminately, the poor came to depend on alms; if too . many public means of relief were afforded, there was a current of paupcrB thither from the sur-rmmdins counlrv. In 1853. with a pop ulation of 50,304, there were relieved 4224 paupers, or about one in twelve. A certain, benevolent gentleman undertook to introduce t reform, in the following man- Koiillieni Uhlo Conl for I'bicnifO, Chicago Tribune, lith.l We have to chronicle another good result of Ihe extension of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad to this city. It has en larged the competition in the coal business bv giving Chicago direct communication "with the coal wines at Shawnee, Ohio, and by making the freight so reasonable that there has already been a reduction of 50 cents a Ion in the price of bituminous coal, which is equivalent to a Hoino nf aevernl hundred thousand dol lars a year to Ibis pity. Cheap coal in Chicago may now he regarded aa an sured fact. A few years ago the LaSalle and Wilmington mines had a practical monopolv, which the Illinois railroads made the most of; whenever the canal was closed, freights would go up. Then the Danville road was opened, and the Indiana coal fields became accessible, which was a Ewat help. Now that the Bait-n,l i II, in mad has hrousht the Ohio coal fields within our reach, Chicago will sciircely ever be subjected to any combi. nation in rates tuaican mm i:ui u. Cheap coal will contribute more than all else to the progress of Chicago as a man-rant, The consumption of the smoke must lie rendered practical before we can enjoy the full UenentsQ' tnia plentiful supply of coal; but we must regard this as suieto come, and, when it does, Chicogo will have advantages as a manufacturing city uncqualed in the Western country.

He defended the action of Kellogg in calling upon Ihe military, and aaid had the Democrats been in power and had Republican! Iried to overthrow them aa the Democrats had Iried lo overthrow the ltepuhlican government in New Orleam, the Democrats would have acted just as Kclh gg did. The Democratic party had frequently indorsed the use of military force. General Jackson, when iu this same cily of New Orleans, arrested and imprisoned Judge Hull for issuing a writ of habeas corpus. A few yeais afterward the Democrats elected him President of the United States. In 1854 there was a runaway slave in Boston, and Franklin Pierce, a Democratic President, authorised the use of troops from the Navy Yard and Fort Independence to arrest this fugitive slave. When the Republican party used the army to enforce the law, some Democrats howled as if a set of pirates were about to fire their houses. In 1856, in Kansas, in the town of Topeka, a free State, Ihe Legislature met. Franklin Pierce, a Democratie President, issued his proclamation commanding that body to disperse, and Jefferson Davis, then Secretary of War, Issued an order, placing the United States army underthe command of the Governor of that State. Colonel Sumner, afterward a General, did d perse that Legislature. That act was indorsed by Ihe Democratic party all over the country, but that saint parly to day denounce the Bepublican party because Kellogg, without the order of the President, used the army lo put out men who were not members of the Legislature. Mr. Logan then read from the order of General George B. McClellan to General Banks, directing the arrest of the Maryland Legislature, said order being dated September 12, 18til, though Ihe State of Maryland had not been declared lo ue in secession when that order was issued. The Democrats ran McClellan for President the first time they got a chance. They had denounced Sheridan in Ibis debate. John A. Logan't Speech. KlKiilllcuiit Correspondence.

Hoar, from tbe committee on Outrages in the Southern States, presented the report of the sub-committee which had been to New Orleans, and stated at the lame time that the committee had voted to proceed forthwith to tbe State of Louisiana to continue the investigation. The report was ordered printed, but was not read. Mr. Dawes again brought before the House the habeas corpus proceedings in the case of Irwin, recusant witners in the Pacific Mall Investigation, and informed the House that Judge McArthnr, alter argument, had delivered an opinion Insisting on production of the prisoner. Mr. Kasson submitted, from the committee on Wars and Means, a resolution order. log that the Sergeant-at-Arms make known lo ine juuge that ne has Irwin iu custody pursuant lo the order of the Hou'e: in its judgment th.t he was in contempt of the llouse, and for no other reason: also that the nouse requires uim to retain the body ot Irwiu in bifl custody until Irwin offers lo purge iiimselt ot such contempt; also to in. lorm the Judge that, as an. officer of the Huuas, he cannot disobey iu orders by releasing or transferring Irwin from his cui-tody.Afler a long discus, Ion. Mr. Daw-na mnt-od the previous question. In the midst of, cries of "vole," "vote," on the Republican I side eif the Uuuae, an appeal was tuada by Mr. KM ridge that the Democratic side of the House should have a chance to be heard. Amid the uproar Mr. lintler of Almnschu-setts repeated several times the phrase, "crucify him," "cruelly him." 1'iua'ly the House refused to second the previous question, and the debate was resumed. Mr Deck offered as a substitute a resolution directing the Sergcant-at-Arms to make a careful return to the writ that the prisoner is duly held hy authority of the House of RepreKCBtutives to answer proceedings against him for contempt, and to take with him the body of Irwin before tbe Courwhen making such return, as required by law. He said he saw nothing left Die House but to obey the law; if the law was not good it snaum i repealed, nut so long as it stood, the House had to obey it. Mr. Cessna moved to amend Mr. Beck's resolution by adding to it that theSergeant-at-Arma be further directed to ohev the order of the court, The amendment was rejected. Mr. Beck'a resolution was then adoptou as a substitute for that offered by Mr. Knsson Mr. Kasson moved to reconsider, but al the motion to adjouru had first been made, the motion was not regarded as before the House, and the House adjourned till Mouday,Return or Ihe Black Illlla Expedition.Omaha, Neb , Jan. 15 General Ord received a telegram to-dav from Cantain Guy Heavy, who is in command of the expedition sent to find and expel miners irom tue Clack Jllils. ihe command were driven Into Camp Robinson Janua ry 8, hy the Beverily of the weather.

I'omi.v. . Kdllor. The St. Louit Globe copies the State Journal's report of Geiger't Snapping Turtle Lecture, with approval. Tue "Johnny Appleseed" question till excites attention. Another correspondent call our attention to the sketch in Harper's Monthly for November, 1871. This addi nothing new to the controversy, however, as the sketch it well known to most readers. The Democrats made an tfl'ort to capture some indignation from A. F. Perry on the Louisiana business, but Ferry de-, dined to indignate. lie euid it was extremely doubtful whether he would be able to sympathiu with the Democracy, which was putting it very mildly for Perry. . And now comes the State of Indiana into court, with a Democratic candidate for United States Senator, who is a hard money man. Yet Indiana was the very sanctum Banctornm of the ii.llation Le-vites. The Enquirer must be allowed twenty minutes for a private weep. " What, all my pretty chicks at one fell swoop." Sekatob Looan made a grand speech on Louisiana afKiri. ' We should be glad, to publish the whole speech; but can only present a few select paragraphs, which will appear from time to lime as there is space for them. After Logan finished, Senator Tipton made a trivial and foolish effort to be funny, which was rewarded with occasional Laughter, though what the laughter was about is a question that will trouble most readers who go through the speech. Our grave Senators must have an extraordinary cnpscl y for laughter, if the reporter has not drawn on his imagination for the bracket embellishments of Mr. Tipton's speech. Senator Thurman was born at Lynchburg, Virginia, November, 1813, and is now in his sixtysecond year. Senator Thurman, being an orphan, was "raited" by his Uncle William Allen, who was born last in 1807, and was consequently six years old wheu he began raising his now promising young nephew. Our Governor is remarkable not only for undertaking the guardianship of his orphan nephew when only six years old, but for having been born three years after the death of his .own father. All these portentous events unite in pointing to Governor Allen as reserved for some peculiar work by Providence, and there is little dsubt that this peculiar work is either to be President of the United States by grace of God and Captain Putnam, or to be a home missionary among the savages of Henry county. The 'Washington correspondent of the Sunday Herald writes : General Sheridan telegraphs that the verv air is impregnated with assassination, and asks that the obnoxious people of the whole South be declared banditti ana turned over to him to be dealt with according to drum-liend court-martial, and if found guilty, shot. Lieutenant General Sheridan does not ay anything within a thousand miles or ten million men of that. His exact language is "The arrest and trial of the ring Uadtrt of the armed White Leagues." Will Mr. Howard assert that this language can possibly be made to mean "the obnoxious people of the whole South" ? Again : Sheridan's language is "If Congress would pass a Ml declaring them i.e. "the ring leaden of the armed While Leagues" banditti, they could be tried by a Military Commission." It is a soldier's way, and as President Grant says, in his Message " the army is not composed of lawyers, capable of judging at a moment's notiee of just how far they can go in the main tenance of law and order ; and that it was impossible to give specific instructions providing for all possible contingencies that might arise. The troops were bound to act upon the judgment of commanding officers upon each sudden contingency that arose, or wait instructions, which could only reach them afler the threatened wrongs had been committed which they were called upon to prevent." The truth la, there has been a great deal of popcock wasted on Sheridan's dispatch, by jumping at a meaning which the dispatch Itself does not even remotely indicate. ' , One of the ablest journalists ia Asaer-ica, a featletaaa who is peculiarly sagacious ia all qiwetioa of affairs, aal la altera sffxlinf the material interests of the eonaUy, writes to u ia a private cots, " Then it as joke about Columkui aortas (rratradoaa aJraafaes eos ml SEVEN CENTS A BU&HKL. It it ilfieuU Is ottrtttimaU ike mbc llal lit materialor ike production o esros loiur it Is Aw." This it concurred ia by many others what opinion U of weight, and whose attention hat been drawa to Columlus by the State JotgNAL. There ia lut one disadvantage that Columbus labors under, in comparison with Indianapolis and other enterprising places: that is, that there an some of our business men who have so little knowledge of the value of mak ing Columbus known abroad, or who have so little public spirit, thai if wfvere to place a hundred copies of the State Journal, or of any pamphlet showing the advantages of Columbus, in their bands, free, ready wrapped and prepaid for the posloffice, they would not have sufficient enterprise, to writs the address on the wrappers to as to distribute the informstlon "where it would do the most good." There are manufacturers, even, whose business we have written up for the benifitof the cily, thereby doing great service to their private interests, who have not thought it worth while to thank us for "doing our duly as journalists by caring for home in terests in that way," who have never advertised a line in the paper to show Columbus business in our columns, and who go all the way to some Eastern cily to get their labels and letter hesds printed, be cause they have facilities for procuring the work a, a small advantage in some way. These gentlemen would he much surprised if we were to compare their establishments disadvantageous with those older established in some Eastern city ; they would think "our borne paper" was "going back on us"; yet that is their style of doing business where our interests are involved, and they do not give the matter a thought. It never occurs to them, even remotely, that if it is our duty to woik for the interests of Columbus as journalists, it is slill more their duty to see that their business is represented in our advertising columns, to show capitalists and all producing forces, (who derive their impressions of any city from the columns of its newspapeis,) what styles of business are in vogue, how many different articles of home manufacture are to be found here, what new business might promise well, and what facili ties purchasers may find here for filling up their whole invoice on favorable terms. Eveiy business house in Columbus ought lo be represented in the daily pa-ers, if by only one line, so that purchasers from all the turrounding towns and country may he able lo see that which is no doubt true namely : that the owner of a oounlry store may find in our market every article he needs, It is something, but not enough, that the purchaser should Fee that Hrown & Dunn, or Miller, Green & Joyce, or some other of (ur large wholesale or retail dry goods houseB, have knocked dry goods down below New York prices; the purchaser, whether he seeks supplies for a large family or for a small retail store, wants to know whether he can come to Columbus and get all the articles he needs, at an average figure. It will not pay for him to como here and buy part of his supply, if he has lo make another trip to Cincinnati or some other place for the rest of it ; and if he finds, on looking into the columns of the State Journal, that there are only half adciiiii clasFes of business represented, he is apt to think and is justified In thinking either that Columbus has not a general stock of all the various articles he needs, or else Columbus business men are so lacking in enterprise that it will not be safe to expect good bargains from them. There is one fact of exceedingly Buggcslive character just in this connection a fact that wo have recently seen commented on by the St. Louis papers : Our reoders arc perhaps aware that during the past year uo city in Hie United Slates has made such a tremendous, stride in the jobbing trade as St. L uis. The reason is given, thus: A little over a year ago, there ws a general movement among St. Louis jobbers and wholesale dealers of every sort to give a fair trial !o the experiment whether advertising in the city papers could be made to pay, and whether it could be made in any degree to lake the place of the expensive instrumentality of "drummers," Ono trip of a drummer, on any one route, they found, would about pay for a good advertisement in a city paper for u year and the advertisement would be a drum mer which would go out once a day, the vear round, on every route leading to the city. They did give the scheme a fair trial, and the result was perfectly amasing. While the business of nearly every city in the country bat hid hard work to hold its own, that of St. Louis has increased in a ratio immensely greater than In any other year of its history. The St. Louis papers are now crowded with business, and the St. Louis merchant who is not represented there is hardly worth going to see for "old fogy in unum, old fogy to omnibus" too stingy to advertise, too stingy Is deal liberally with buyers no enterprise in adding to the business reputation of the cily by swelling the volume of showing in its newspapers, proves no enter prise to push ahead and get latest styles. best bargains, and best ptistoni. It would do no barm to uiu.iudub, id. her business interests, to the Interest of the men themselves, or to our Interests, if our business men would Just think over these matters a little. Investigate that statement about St. Louis. Try It on, a little, and fee how it will fit Columbus. mmr.

The theory of the system it a close house-to-house visitation and careful inspection by ciliieni, whose object it to prevent, not encourage, pauperism. What have been the results?

There it no wages dispute except at a few of the banks in this valley, the operators expressing a desire and arillingnera lo furnish all the work that can be obtained for their men, under the present depressed condition of the trade. In the Tuscarawas valley the wages dispute, which at one time assumed Ihe proportions of a strike, has been compromised through the agency of a Board of Arbitration, and the works are now running on very good lime, the price paid being 71 cents per Ion, a reduction of 19 cents. The iron works of this city, with the exception of Iiown, Bounell & Co.'s, aud the rail department of the Valley mill, are in full operation. For the first time in many mouths employes in Homer, Hamilton & Co.'s foundry are having but little to do. The difficulty which has prostrated the iron industries in the I'ilUbnrg region, in regard lo the price of puddling, has not affected this cily, unleFS the stoppage of lirown, Bonnell A Co.'s works is due to this cause. Too much uraise cannot be accorded to the manufacturers of this city, who have kept tho works in operation, affording labor to our wormngnien anu ioou to our poor, in a lime when ruin and starvation stares the Industrious of other cities in the face. The prospects are good for the continuance ot tlio present irienmy relations uf employer and employed during the winter, and it is hoped that the iron interest of the country will present a moie fa-orable outlook with the opening of navigation in the spring.

One of the most remarkable and suc cessful efforts ever made by.munlcipal au thorities to break up pauperism is that of German manufacturing town near Cologne on the Khine, Elberfeldt. This municipality wt toreiy amicieu aoiue twenty years since with a phronic condition of pauperism. T. e usual maMmj of almt houses or of private charity did not diminish It. If people gave freely and Indiscriminately, the poor came to depend on alms; if too . many public means of relief were afforded, there was a current of paupcrB thither from the sur-rmmdins counlrv. In 1853. with a pop ulation of 50,304, there were relieved 4224 paupers, or about one in twelve. A certain, benevolent gentleman undertook to introduce t reform, in the following man- Koiillieni Uhlo Conl for I'bicnifO, Chicago Tribune, lith.l We have to chronicle another good result of Ihe extension of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad to this city. It has en larged the competition in the coal business bv giving Chicago direct communication "with the coal wines at Shawnee, Ohio, and by making the freight so reasonable that there has already been a reduction of 50 cents a Ion in the price of bituminous coal, which is equivalent to a Hoino nf aevernl hundred thousand dol lars a year to Ibis pity. Cheap coal in Chicago may now he regarded aa an sured fact. A few years ago the LaSalle and Wilmington mines had a practical monopolv, which the Illinois railroads made the most of; whenever the canal was closed, freights would go up. Then the Danville road was opened, and the Indiana coal fields became accessible, which was a Ewat help. Now that the Bait-n,l i II, in mad has hrousht the Ohio coal fields within our reach, Chicago will sciircely ever be subjected to any combi. nation in rates tuaican mm i:ui u. Cheap coal will contribute more than all else to the progress of Chicago as a man-rant, The consumption of the smoke must lie rendered practical before we can enjoy the full UenentsQ' tnia plentiful supply of coal; but we must regard this as suieto come, and, when it does, Chicogo will have advantages as a manufacturing city uncqualed in the Western country.

Iried to overthrow them aa the Democrats had Iried lo overthrow the ltepuhlican government in New Orleam, the Democrats would have acted just as Kclh gg did. The Democratic party had frequently indorsed the use of military force. General Jackson, when iu this same cily of New Orleans, arrested and imprisoned Judge Hull for issuing a writ of habeas corpus. A few yeais afterward the Democrats elected him President of the United States. In 1854 there was a runaway slave in Boston, and Franklin Pierce, a Democratic President, authorised the use of troops from the Navy Yard and Fort Independence to arrest this fugitive slave. When the Republican party used the army to enforce the law, some Democrats howled as if a set of pirates were about to fire their houses. In 1856, in Kansas, in the town of Topeka, a free State, Ihe Legislature met. Franklin Pierce, a Democratie President, issued his proclamation commanding that body to disperse, and Jefferson Davis, then Secretary of War, Issued an order, placing the United States army underthe command of the Governor of that State. Colonel Sumner, afterward a General, did d perse that Legislature. That act was indorsed by Ihe Democratic party all over the country, but that saint parly to day denounce the Bepublican party because Kellogg, without the order of the President, used the army lo put out men who were not members of the Legislature. Mr. Logan then read from the order of General George B. McClellan to General Banks, directing the arrest of the Maryland Legislature, said order being dated September 12, 18til, though Ihe State of Maryland had not been declared lo ue in secession when that order was issued.

RICHARD PITZER, LEWIS CROOKS, jan!6 Committee for Sale of Stock. St. Loul. Cilrloally. A curioaity in the possession of M. S. Mepham of this city, says the St. Louis Republican, is deserving of more than passing obrervalion. The article In ques tion is a specimen of the kind ef safe used twelve hundred years ago. for centuries it laid in a monastery and when feudalism became a thing of the past it came into the hands of a Herman baronial family, who handed it down from father. to eon until it found its way to the New World and Ihe heart of the Mississippi valley. A safebut not the cumbrous, heavy, thick-walled articles now used; only a circular iron box made of iron ttrlpa welded together about a foot long and perhaps a halt loot in diameter, looking altogether something like a cove-oyster barrel. The great curiosity about it 1b the lock, which is a masterpiece in its way and burglar-proof, aa It was fonnt) a few dp,v ago when, the key being mialsid, It defied all attempts to pick it, even from expert Bafe-iuaker. Four springs are connected with tbe lock, and although the box may be taken epart it can only be put together with each screw in the place assigned for it. It is etipi posed to have been hung up in a rnanaa. tery and tp haye been In Its day a eort of fioorbox, a slit in the top showing where he coins should be put In. It was placed in Mr. Mepham't hands by Mrs. M. lluff, in.whose family the box hat been for over two hundred years. A Latin inscription on the top give's probably a cue to its origin, but could not be deciphered by the Republican reporter, except th,t woiUB-A, v. in. J.
